Cityscape vs Feathery Lilac
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Cityscape reads as grey, while Feathery Lilac reads as white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Feathery Lilac (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than Cityscape (LRV 22), a difference of 59 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cityscape runs neutral while Feathery Lilac is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 38.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
